Sample tower
Descriptions of sample environments and detectors available at the beamline are found on the pages linked below.
The standard equipment installed in the experimental hutch is described below.
Heavy load sample tower
The heavy load diffractometer can carry loads up to 600 kg with a vertical rotation axis and a double tilt stage. This is the base for all experiments and can service a large variety of sample environments, available at the beamline or supplied by the users. The table is 40 × 40 cm2 and an Eulerian cradle can be mounted for larger sample movement. Dimensions for mounting of users equipment are available upon contact with beamline staff.
Detector stage
The movable detector stage has a dual detector setup, which allows for fast switching between point and area detectors during the experiment. The stage gives possible sample to detector distances of 0.3 – 4 m. The point detector or small area detector can be used to scan q-space. The point detector setup has the possibility to include an analyzer crystal with tuneable rocking width to adjust the resolution to the sample scattering properties. The area detector described here can be mounted to access a large q-space at once.
